Is this an actual Parody…? While sleeping, eating & drinking are generally good advice for health, & indeed fairly essential for life….NONE of these things are going to stop you catching a highly infectious airborne vasculotropic virus! 🤯1/2

express.co.uk/life-style/hea…
7 things that might *actually* stop you catching Covid XEC:
1) Use multi-layered protections
2) Avoid busy crowded poorly ventilated indoor spaces
3) Wear a well fitting FFP3/N99 respirator when can’t do 2)
4) Ensure adequate ventilation- CO2 monitors & open windows

2/
5)Add hepa filters when ventilation still inadequate
6) Ensure vaccines up to date
7) Encourage testing - and when symptomatic DON’T SPREAD INFECTION TO OTHERS, ie DONT send infectious kids to school, employers support infectious adults to WFH

3/
The best way to avoid Covid is for us all to work together to break the chain of transmission (ie PUBLIC HEALTH).

Unfortunately you will NOT effectively avoid Covid by sleeping, eating and drinking…

END/
……in year 5 of the Pandemic I cannot believe this even needs saying!!! 🤯🤯🤯

Please take precautions. ⬆️XEC wave
COVID is not over, not seasonal & not a cold

Hundreds of thousands more globally will become disabled w/long COVID, will sustain brain & CVS damage if we don’t.

1/witnessed a discussion where one person has told another they shouldn’t speak the truth about Covid bc they could cause real harm by confronting others denialism which may be trauma induced. This made me think. Pandemic induced trauma & MH AND Sars2 induced Chr diseases & LC …
2/BOTH exist and ignoring one to “manage” the other won’t make the existence or risks of either go away. This shouldn’t be & doesn’t need to be an either/or situation. We need to acknowledge and treat both.
Regarding risks of Long COVID we need:
1) better education & PH messaging
2) Public health preventions (clean air, respirator masks in hospitals & public transport)
3) Funding for LC research to fund effective treatments
4) Better care pathways for patients and teaching/training guidelines for doctors

Regarding Pandemic induced trauma:
-we need

@00SarahBear00 @CovidSolidarit1 Hi Sarah 👋. I run a long Covid medical clinic. Been seeing LC patients since mid 2020 before it had a name.The stories are absolutely heartbreaking. And generally have a common theme. So many young previously fit & healthy people who are severely disabled now, often bedridden 1/
@00SarahBear00 @CovidSolidarit1 2/some in almost permanent PEM, many in constant pain, all in a living hell. The vast majority had no real idea of the dangers they were putting themselves in because the lack of honest PH messaging & the volume of misinformation out there made them believe bc they were young 2/
@00SarahBear00 @CovidSolidarit1 3/and fit and healthy that they were safe & couldn’t get long covid, and if they did it was just a bit of fatigue right? The utter disbelief that this could have happened to them, destroyed their life, ruined their future & no immediate prospects for a cure….the dawning 3/

@BBCNews I’m sorry BBC but this reporting slant from the Covid Inquiry is completely disingenuous. If you’ve been watching it is very clear that the real scandal is IPC Guidance, which set the level of protection for health care workers (with knock on effects for patients & families) 1/
@BBCNews 2/was based on NO good scientific evidence and multiple experts raised alarms in 2020 that SARS2 was airborne and HCW were being left unprotected. The IPC dismissed these experts (who were correct), proceeded with fallacious guidance and thousands of health care workers died 2/
@BBCNews 2/or well disabled as a result. It has been made clear that those who wrote this guidance knew early on in 2020 it was incorrect yet allowed the guidance to stand and it still forms our IPC guidelines now - and people are still dying and being disabled. It is very clear to many

A - 'At the time and I would say even still we don't understand enough about #LongCovid to be able to give the right messaging'

JFC - if you don’t understand Long Covid then WHY DIDNT YOU ASK THOSE OF US THAT DO??? We’ve been trying to tell you for OVER TWO YEARS!! 1/
2/ I gave a presentation summary of all the research (with Sammie McF) of what long covid was and is to the Deputy Director of DoH in June 2022 - we have >400,000 research publications! We explained all of it. We also very clearly warned if you remove all PH restrictions without
3/first putting in public health protections (like ventilation & air filtration plus others) to reduce the reinfections rates that by 2023 hundreds of thousands more UK citizens were going to become disabled. We sent DoH the research studies. We copied Maria Caulfield &

@PeteUK7 Honestly, the utter b****cks that we are having to witness from someone in a position of such power is utterly disgusting. I apologize for my language but I don’t think I can remember the last time I was this angry.

So according to IPC You can’t put an FFP3 on a patient which 1/
@PeteUK7 2/will 1)protect them from a getting sick or dying from contracting a BSL2/3 airborne biohazard & 2) will protect others because they *might exhale virus through a valve* even though most recommended FFP3 DONT HAVE VALVES! So let’s not let them have a protective mask… this is 2/
@PeteUK7 3/utter and dangerous rubbish!!! I honestly can’t believe what I’m listening too!

I wish this lady could come sit in one of my clinics and see the utter carnage & destroyed lives her flawed guidance has caused…3/

The IPC cell knowingly denied the science & lied about it to EVERYONE. And thousands died & 199,000 HCW in UK were permanently disabled with lives destroyed. And worse still….we STILL have NO AIRBORNE IPC in hospitals & HCWs & patients are STILL becoming disabled by lack of 1/
2/effective mitigations in hospitals, where our most vulnerable in society must attend when sick, still being disabled by a virus that is causing LC and organ damage in around 1 in 20 infections! @wesstreeting @GwynneMP I realise you’ve both inherited a huge mess to sort, but 2/
@wesstreeting @GwynneMP 3/this is probably the BIGGEST scandal of the Pandemic to date. And the Pandemic is NOT over because Covid is NOT gone and has NOT mutated into a common cold as it’s still disabling ~1 in 15 to 1 in 20 in the chronic phase.
Please, please can you address IPC in our hospitals 3/
